Default Weight of Richlight vs Ebony/RW

I have a Martin Richlight bridge, and it seems to be very heavy to me. Can anyone give me the actual numbers on what these weigh vs an Ebony or RW bridge? I would think the weight of this bridge would surely dampen some of the tone.

Wood-database gives ebony from 60 to 72 pcf and EIRw = 52 pcf.

Weighing Martin bridges in my inventory and scaling from EIRw to Richlite, I estimate Richlite to be 64 pcf. That puts it in the ebony range.
